No, we don't HAVE to do it every year, but why not? I'm just asking if people want to.
On scoring. I think you've got a good point about why the WM system is designed the way it is. And while we don't have 72 boards to fill in I think the same principles work for a smaller tourney. I actually like the system because anyone that get's soloed on in 9 years, played a poor game in my opinion, and certainly doesn't deserve to advance to another round. I think setting a time limit on the games (like playing to the end of 1909) is a good idea for the opening round. It will also serve to keep the games short, and perhaps allow us to play the final game before 2001 is over. The final game(s) need not and probably shoud not have such restrictions.
Anyway here's the WM scoring system:
Solo = 60 , Top = 30, 2nd = 14, 3rd = 8, 4th = 4 [all but solo add SC count to listed bonus.] 5, 6, and 7th place get no bonus but do get points for any SC’s owned at end of game. If one players Solos, everyone else gets Zero (0) points. In the event of a tie, bonus points for the tied positions, where appropriate, are shared (Three players end at 8 means 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place points are totaled and allocated equally to each
player). Games that end in any type of negotiated finish before 1909 will have the SC count at game end carried out to 1909. (12 SC’s in
06 = 12 SC in 07, 08, & 09). All solo victories will be counted as 18 regardless of the number of final centers.
I think when it all boils down to it, the system Snowfire suggested is much them same is this one. But this system puts an exact figure on how to score performance. Hopefully this will avoid debate as to who actually advances.
